'The clinician will find this well constructed book an excellent opportunity to update his information on the progress in cardiovascular MRI.' Acta Cardiologica 46 (2) 1991 'It is certainly an appropriate purchase for the individual imaging specialist who deals exclusively with cardiac studies. The student of diagnostic imaging is also given a good perspective of an area that has experienced an enormous expansion. It was a pleasure to review this book.' European Journal of Nuclear Medicine 18 (5) 1991
